My Philosophy

When it comes time to consider working with a real estate agent – you literally have hundreds of choices! There IS a big difference between Mark Stein and other real estate agents!

He has 25 years of experience in getting RESULTS and finding SOLUTIONS to problems. Mark puts his clients’ interests ahead of his own. Always!

You may ask yourself – why do I even need my own agent to go BUY a house? Why can’t I just call the name on the sign? This is an excellent question. Here’s the answer:

In Nova Scotia, the Real Estate Trading Act mandates that every licensed agent works for a buyer EXCEPT if they are under a listing contract with a seller.

If you call the agent who’s name is on the sign instead of an agent working for you, that ‘listing’ agent will have limited abilities to represent your best interests. It’s the law!

Working with one agent who’s focus is getting you what you want for less money than you hope to spend – that’s how you succeed! This is always Mark Stein’s focus with buyers.

You may ask yourself – why would I SELL my home with a boutique brokerage like Priority 1 Real Estate instead of an international brand?

The beauty of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS*) is that a listing with Mark Stein is available to every single licensed REALTOR* and buyer across Nova Scotia! Inquiries can come from anywhere in the world, as a matter of fact, and they do!

You are “buying local” when dealing with Mark Stein. No franchise fees or advertising dollars or licensing fees going out of province and in some cases, out of country. It all starts here and stays here!

Mark’s quarter century of local real estate knowledge and networking keeps his listings top of mind among the other agents.

Mark’s most valuable asset is his REPUTATION among his clients, his peers and the overall community!

There is indeed something to be said for old-fashioned one-on-one personal service – not being handed over to an “assistant” or a “junior agent” learning the ropes. “Thank you very much, but if I am buying or selling something as important as my home – I want to know it is being handled by an experienced expert.” Mark Stein is a leader in real estate sales – buying or selling.

Mark Stein is RESULTS orientated. Nothing but. No short cuts to success. Hard work, dedication and honesty make the difference!
